Here’s a few ways to help unite your community: Organize a public signing. Call your local town officials and ask them to sign a panel with your organization. Have an art contest and let the winner be the designer of your panel. Invite your neighbors to a gathering and all do a portion of the quilt. Collect food and clothes for your local shelter while you do a signing. Take a panel to the mall! Ask a local event if you can bring a panel and a table. Take a panel to work!
